  • Tue, 17 Dec 2024 19:10:04 +0000: Physicists 'bootstrap' validity of string theory - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
    String theory remains elusive as a 'provable' phenomenon. But a team of physicists has now taken a significant step forward in validating string theory by using an innovative mathematical method that points to its 'inevitability.'
  • Tue, 17 Dec 2024 18:13:33 +0000: String figures shed light on cultural connections and the roots of mathematical reasoning - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
    New research suggests that the making of string figures, a globally documented practice, may point to shared cultural heritage stretching back millennia. The research offers a new way to investigate the evolution and distribution of cultural phenomena using mathematical methods.
  • Mon, 16 Dec 2024 18:00:42 +0000: Physics and emote design: Quantifying clarity in digital images - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
    When analyzing artworks, understanding the visual clarity of compositions is crucial. Inspired by digital artists, researchers have created a metric to quantify clarity in digital images. As a result, scientists can accurately capture changes in structure during artistic processes and physical transformations. This new metric can improve analysis and decision-making across the scientific and creative domains, potentially transforming how we understand and evaluate the structure of images. It has been tested on digital artworks and physical systems.
  • Tue, 10 Dec 2024 16:54:16 +0000: Leap in modelling human impact on climate may lead to early warning of climate disasters - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
    Mathematicians have applied statistical mechanics to climate change detection and attribution for first time. They have shown how to separate the 'signal' of human-made climate change from the 'noise' of natural climate fluctuations. This allows for a dramatic improvement in the ability to detect climate change and early warnings of climatic tipping points.
  • Mon, 09 Dec 2024 17:29:36 +0000: New AI cracks complex engineering problems faster than supercomputers - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
    Modeling how cars deform in a crash, how spacecraft responds to extreme environments, or how bridges resist stress could be made thousands of times faster thanks to new artificial intelligence that enables personal computers to solve massive math problems that generally require supercomputers.
